ВВЕДЕНИЕ Говорение и аудирование являются двумя взаимосвязанными сторонами устной речи. Аудирование подготавливает говорение, говорение помогает формированию восприятия речи на слух. Оно тесно связано и с другими видами речевой деятельности. Аудирование является наиболее сложным видом речевой деятельности, вследствие того, что учащийся не только должен услышать, но и воспринять англоязычную речь. Известно, что школьный возраст примерно до 12 лет является наиболее благоприятным для усвоения любого иностранного языка. Причиной тому служит любознательность в познании нового, кроме того, приобщение школьника к иной культуре позволяет ему осознать себя как личность, принадлежащую к определённой социокультурной общности людей, а также воспитать в нем уважение к другому образу жизни. Цель обучения аудированию - развить слуховую память и слуховую реакцию, формировать определенные речевые умения, обучить умению общаться. Для достижения успешного восприятия аудирования и используются различные тексты и задания. Данное пособие предназначается для проведения аудирования в 5-6 классах. В текстах и заданиях знакомый учащимся лексический и грамматический материал. Используются грамматические явления, изучавшиеся школьниками ещё в 4 классе. Это сравнительные степени прилагательных, множественное число существительных, предлоги, числительные, времена глагола the Present Simple Tense, the Present Continuous Tense, the Past Simple Tense, неправильные глаголы. О значении незнакомых лексических единиц учащиеся легко могут догадаться по контексту. Настоящее пособие поможет учителю качественно провести аудирование с минимальной затратой времени. Тексты небольшие по объёму с интересными сюжетами. Каждый текст сопровождается тремя видами заданий. Специфика заданий позволяет эффективно работать в таких аспектах обучения иностранному языку, как аудирование, чтение, письмо, а при желании учителя и наличии времени – и говорении. Задание №1 (truefalse) и задание №3 (выбор правильного слова) можно провести в форме тестов, что позволит сэкономить время на уроке. В общей сложности на аудирование затратится не более 10-12 минут. Все тексты и задания для аудирования можно использовать при изучении практически всех тем программы 5-6 классов. Например, текст «The old Indian is quite modern» и задания к нему можно использовать при изучении темы «Путешествия». Тексты «The hare and the nut», «The crow and the fox», « Why the hare has no tail» - при изучении темы «Окружающий мир». Тексты «All’s well that ends well» и «Why he did not run about» относятся к теме «Свободное время». Тексты «Tom and his friends» и «Martin and Gogo» помогут при изучении темы «Мои друзья». А текст «Primary school in England» познакомят учащихся с начальной школой Англии. 4
